MSanDR is a dynamic instrumentation tool that can instrument the code
(prebuilt libraries and such) that could not be instrumented at compile time.
This code is unused (to the best of our knowledge) and unmaintained, and
starting to bit-rot.

Summary:
The loader does not call mmap() through the PLT because it has to
bootstrap the process before libc is present. Hooking dlopen() isn't
enough either because the loader runs module initializers before
returning, and they could run arbitrary msan instrumented code.
If msandr is present, then we can intercept the mmaps from dlopen at the
syscall layer and clear the shadow there. If msandr is missing, we
clear the shadow after dlopen() and hope any initializers are trivial.
